DOH! I didn't upgrade my validator-rules.xml file from 1.1 to 1.2.4.
This previous post to this mailing list solved the problem:

Many thanks to those who responded to my original post.

Subject: RE: Problems with Multi Page (wizard) Validation using
DynaValidatorForm and the "page=" attribute
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.
I realised that in my JSP page(s) I had the
<html:hidden property="page" value="1"/>
element declared before my form element:
<html:form action="/WizardPage1Submit" focus="firstName">
The ordering of <html:form> first, with <html:hidden> nested inside
would seem important and I guess, make sense - the hidden property page
belongs to the form submitted to my DynaValidatorForm.
I am now no longer getting the NullPointerException, but I am not
picking up any validator errors - my wizard will move onto the second
page without displaying any validation errors in the HTML.
I'm also now getting a related SEVERE message in my catalina.out log:

Again, any help would be much appreciated!

Mark - not sure if this is your problem, but based on what you pasted in
here, your JSP page is missing an <html:form element. I'm going to
assume you snipped a bit more than what you said, but just in case...
All of your code seems correct to me. The only other thing I think could
possibly be wrong is if you have a separate "loader" action for your
page 1 form, and that has the scope set to request instead of session.
Sorry I wasn't more help, but figured some ideas are better than none.
